Preparation for the Solar Eclipse in Pisces, March 9 2016, 1:54 UTC

´LET GO´ seems to be the key message coming through as we prepare for the New Moon / Solar Eclipse in Pisces. Much of the Eclipse´s energies will be focused on deep karmic contracts, past-life connections, our experiences of Mystery, Formlessness and Transcendental Spirituality – and so on. To align ourselves with, or entirely dissolve in the ocean of energy that connects us all (or both). Pisces is a tough energy to summarize in a nutshell, but that´s the general gist of it.

This is a powerful time for perfoming rituals of release, especially by the ocean or other bodies of water – anywhere where you feel closer to Piscean / Neptunian energy. Have faith that all that needs to go right now is for the best. So much of this process is facilitated by the sheer knowing that we can, and do, have the choice to make a decision – to stay in a karmic loop, or to simply let go of it. You can think of this as simply releasing past energetic anchors that no longer fit with who you are now – or simply casting your karmic baggage back to Source. Whichever metaphor works for you.

´Past-life karma´ often carries with it an implicit belief that this is something to be endured and that cannot be shifted. I have found this to be true only so long as you believe it to be true. We can re-write our energetic narratives. We´ve always been able to.

No matter how long you have lived out or experienced a particular karmic pattern, or how powerful it seems to be – know that you are a child of the Earth and the Cosmos. Your Soul is infinite, beautiful, powerful and connected to All-That-Is. What you experience through your karmic journey is but a part of your own process of awakening. It isn´t the end all or be all of that process. Just a part of it. And that too, one that operates only because we give it a certain level of permission to do so.

I know that point raises quite a bit of controversy for those who identify strongly with the narrative of being a victim (of people, of fate, of their charts), but it´s really time we began to explore other alternatives to the spiritual journey, and our role in its co-creation.

The coming eclipse, as far as eclipses go, isn´t a ´normal´ one. The Nodes of the Moon are involved, and so, they provide us with tremendous possibilities for spiritual evolution – or – entrenchment into the past. Make no mistake, we´ll collectively experience and learn what we need to with this coming eclipse – it´s a matter of whether that happens gently, or, if we choose to go kicking and screaming all along the way. Again, it comes down to what we allow into our space, what we see as possible (or not).

Here´s some practical suggestions as well:

For those of you having difficulty staying grounded at this time, if you can, head towards Nature. Spend some time earthing, grounding and re-affirming your connection with the Deep Earth.

Pay attention to your intuitive senses now, along with messages from the deep subconscious. Remember to stay grounded if you feel spaced out and feel free to catch up on sleep, if you feel unusually lethargic at this time. B complex and Omega oils are particularly helpful for supporting brain function – especially as we begin to re-wire or re-configure key ways in which we connect with past-life karma, our understanding of ´the spiritual´, our connection with Mystery, Formlessness, and so on. Lepidolite tumblestones can also be of great support during this process.

No matter what you choose to do – remember that the greatest strength you have during this time is Faith. Be it in a God, in yourself, in Mystery, in the Cosmos – Have Faith in the greater process, in the greater collective, in the wider Cosmic experience of which you have chosen to be a part.

The New Moon / Solar Eclipse in Pisces takes place on 9th March 2016, 01:54 UTC, 18´55 Pisces.
